    Option: Communication

    if you referred to the question (how an understanding of processes in hearing led to this) then you're fine. if not, you're proving that you understand how a hearing aid works, but you're not really answering the question. did you say that an understanding of the hairs in the Organ of Corti...

    The 2008 ARIA Awards

    Cilmi is an alright singer (though i doubt she writes her own songs), but also an obnoxious wench. she reminds me of Delta Goodrem, except she was more humble. look what happened to her, her popularity has faded. i give Cilmi two more albums before this happens to her too. was really glad the...

    multiple choice answers

    C is only correct if we know that the temperature of the cage is over their normal temperature (i.e. 37 for mammals). an answer based on an 'if' is clearly not an answer when there is another answer that is correct no matter what (the metabolism part, i believe the BoS would assume that as...

    cell differentiation is a means of maintaining health. DNA is the genetic blueprint of the organism, thus a mutation will cause them to be different to the parent.

    noninfectious disease?

    1. pathway of sound THROUGH the ear, thus you needed to draw the ear 2. tympanic membrane detects sound. you had to talk about how you would find out whether it was a tympanic membrane or not through secondary (internet, textbooks, comparing this information describing its structure / function...

    Re: how did you go? don't worry, you won't get in trouble it's just that students in other countries have their exams at a different time, they want to stop people calling up a friend to tell them what to study. not that you couldn't do it anyway. haha, when it came to the option i looked at...
